Krista at mbaMission has made all the difference!

As a re-applicant, just the thought of going through the MBA application process again can be stressful. Looking back, it's fair to say that I would not be where I am today without Krista's help and guidance through my R1 application.

Krista's expertise lies in her familiarity with international applicants and their global experiences, as well as her unique ability to "sell" an applicant's candidacy by emphasizing on his/her strengths. I think the application essay is by far the most important item to work with a consultant on , and in that respect, Krista knows exactly what adcoms are looking for and will work with you to bring out your most powerful strengths for the adcoms to consider.

Krista is very quick to respond to emails, has a highly-organized work/turnaround schedule, and is always available through video chat to talk over the most minute of concerns on my application. This means that you will in turn have a highly-organized application schedule as it is in sync with hers. I am a frequent traveler and sometimes had a 15hr time-zone difference with her, but thanks to her organization, it was completely fine. Krista is relentless in editing essay drafts; she will demand nothing less than a state of near-perfection from you. That being said, she is also effective in communicating the reasoning behind every edit.

Throughout the entire process, I firmly believe Krista was invested in my candidacy as much as I was. Thanks to her dedication, I was admitted to 3/3 of my R1 schools (HBS, Sloan, Wharton). Krista, thanks again for everything you've done for me, and all the best on your future endeavors!
